I am a nurse at Texas Childrens Hospital. I have over 18 years exp and make over 100k a year there. They start brand new nurses with no exp at a bit over 23. plus change per hour. I work with a couple of nurses that have about 4 years exp making abit over 55k a year. The cost of living in Houston isamong some of the lowest in the country. Dallas is way higher. You can buy a 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath 2 car garage 2200+ sq foot houme for under 150k. That is on Katy, which is a suburb west of Houston that also has some of the best schools in the state. The traffic here is actually not really that bad. I have every thing I need on the west side for shopping and entertainment. I litterally have with 10 miles of me 3 major shopping malls 5 or 6 multiplex theaters, within 5 blocks of my house I have 3 grocery stores, with in 5 miles I have 2 super walmarts and sams as well as gas stations everywhere. (2.40/GAL) When I gotoworkin the medical center which is 32 miles away it takes me 35minutes in the morning and coming home takes me about 45 minutes. Not really that bad of a commute. Dallas on the other hand SUCKS for traffic. I have sat not moving there for over an hour because of an accident, They have a serious lack of freeways that you can by pass areas unlike houston, where you are never very far from as freeway. The weather also sucks in dallas. Hot in the summer and snows in the winter with ice storms every once in a while. In Houston it is hot in the summer and mild in the winter. Chose Houston Dave

It does not list any jobs at all. It is all just public domain info that is gotten from each state board. Dave

Ummm....thats a MAJOR OSHA violation. Suction cannisters are NEVER to be dumped out per OSHA they are to be disposed of in red bags. The fine is about 50,000 bucks for doing it. Dave

I paid the 9 bucks and got my report....It just shows where I have been licensed and when and past county of residence. It also has a section to show if you have had any action taken against you by any board. All this is public domain info that can be gotten for free from all state boards. It does not give your license number or current address. A compnay is just making money off of public domain info. Dave

I use a Fuji Finepix F700. I love it. It is small. Can fit into a pants pocket and it is 6.2 megapixel. right now you can get them for about 300-350 max. has a 12x zoom and great photo editing software, Dave

Where I work, it seems to us nurses that if you have no insurance you get BETTER treatment than if you have it. I have seen people with no insurance get admitted and get the "million dollar" workup since they are not going to pay for it after all so what does it matter while those with insurance get limited testing due to the limitations put on by the insurance companies...there's some food for thought.

Splenda is not really an artificial sweetner. it starts out as regular sugar but has one moleculechanged so that the body does not metabloize it the same way as sugar is. I would be more concerned with an organic rather than a chemical cause of your moms hallucinations. Dave

Your management HAS to recognize your constitutional right to vote. Not to allow you to vote on the scheduled election day is against federal law. They will have to make provisions to allow you to vote in your precient no matter how far from work it is located. If they try to stop you I would be calling the election board..the press as well as a lawyer. Dave

As many men will die from Prostate cancer as will women from breast cancer yet it only gets 1/10 the funding and only 1/32 the publicity that breast cancer gets. I can see where there are battles for trademarks and imiages for breast cancer when you are dealing with the kind of money that it generates. Dave

Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston offers these types of internships. We just had a 4 week internship student from Great Britian. If you want I can check here and find out what department you need to contact. Dave

Tell him that he can take his head out of his *** and that you will NOT tolerate being swore at or treated that way by ANYBODY!! Then tell him you will be taking uit up with his chief...all the way up to the chief of staff for the hospital if need be. NEVER accept this behavior from a doctor. Dave

Just a quick clarifacation, VA budgets has not been cut in fact it has gone UP over 10 BILLION dollars over the last 2 years and this year also it id going up 2.4 billion more. Dave

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! It's Monday 8/23 the dreaded OT deathday and uess what. Not one of us here that is paid hourly has heard that we will no longer be getting OT. The scare tactics that the Dems and nursing groups are using to put fear into people is unbelievable. If you got OT before today you will get it tomorrow.
